News article leads to simple bow and arrow design...

The news article about two drowning victims mentioned their involvement in various crafts. One article mentioned, amongst other things, a simple design for a bow and arrow for kids... so here are the links:

Yeah... My thoughts too. One would assume they would know not to touch the beautiful but deadly blue ringed octopus...

Those poor kids. What an awful, and strange, way to lose both your parents.
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

When my Dad who is now deceased was a lad in Manly he and his mates used to stir them up and then throw them at each other.......I was next to him many years later when the first TV report came in about the young soldier who died.....the look of shock on the old man's face.....he went white as a sheet. This would happen every day, many times each day if the fish were not biting during school holidays from the time he was 6 till about when he was 14.

Kids......their Guardian Angels must rack up a fair bit of O/T.

never complain....you did not have to wake up....every day is an extra bonus and costs nothing.
